Given n points on a 2D plane where points[i] = [xi, yi], Return the widest vertical area between two points such that no points are inside the area.

vertical area is an area of fixed-width extending infinitely along the y-axis (i.e., infinite height). The widest vertical area is the one with the maximum width.

Note that points on the edge of a vertical area are not considered included in the area.

Example 1:

Input: points = [[8,7],[9,9],[7,4],[9,7]]
Output: 1
Explanation: Both the red and the blue area are optimal.


Example 2:

Input: points = [[3,1],[9,0],[1,0],[1,4],[5,3],[8,8]]
Output: 3


Constraints:

• n == points.length
• 2 <= n <= 105
• points[i].length == 2
• 0 <= xi, yi <= 109

## Solution: Sort by x coordinates

Time complexity: O(nlogn)
Space complexity: O(n)

## C++

You are given an array of network towers towers and an integer radius, where towers[i] = [xi, yi, qi] denotes the ith network tower with location (xi, yi) and quality factor qi. All the coordinates are integral coordinates on the X-Y plane, and the distance between two coordinates is the Euclidean distance.

The integer radius denotes the maximum distance in which the tower is reachable. The tower is reachable if the distance is less than or equal to radius. Outside that distance, the signal becomes garbled, and the tower is not reachable.

The signal quality of the ith tower at a coordinate (x, y) is calculated with the formula ⌊qi / (1 + d)⌋, where d is the distance between the tower and the coordinate. The network quality at a coordinate is the sum of the signal qualities from all the reachable towers.

Return the integral coordinate where the network quality is maximum. If there are multiple coordinates with the same network quality, return the lexicographically minimum coordinate.

Note:

• A coordinate (x1, y1) is lexicographically smaller than (x2, y2) if either x1 < x2 or x1 == x2 and y1 < y2.
• ⌊val⌋ is the greatest integer less than or equal to val (the floor function).

Example 1:

Input: towers = [[1,2,5],[2,1,7],[3,1,9]], radius = 2
Output: [2,1]
Explanation:
At coordinate (2, 1) the total quality is 13
- Quality of 7 from (2, 1) results in ⌊7 / (1 + sqrt(0)⌋ = ⌊7⌋ = 7
- Quality of 5 from (1, 2) results in ⌊5 / (1 + sqrt(2)⌋ = ⌊2.07⌋ = 2
- Quality of 9 from (3, 1) results in ⌊9 / (1 + sqrt(1)⌋ = ⌊4.5⌋ = 4
No other coordinate has higher quality.

Example 2:

Input: towers = [[23,11,21]], radius = 9
Output: [23,11]


Example 3:

Input: towers = [[1,2,13],[2,1,7],[0,1,9]], radius = 2
Output: [1,2]


Example 4:

Input: towers = [[2,1,9],[0,1,9]], radius = 2
Output: [0,1]
Explanation: Both (0, 1) and (2, 1) are optimal in terms of quality but (0, 1) is lexicograpically minimal.


Constraints:

• 1 <= towers.length <= 50
• towers[i].length == 3
• 0 <= xi, yi, qi <= 50
• 1 <= radius <= 50

## Solution: Brute Force

Try all possible coordinates from (0, 0) to (50, 50).

Time complexity: O(|X|*|Y|*t)
Space complexity: O(1)

Implement the class SubrectangleQueries which receives a rows x cols rectangle as a matrix of integers in the constructor and supports two methods:

1. updateSubrectangle(int row1, int col1, int row2, int col2, int newValue)

• Updates all values with newValue in the subrectangle whose upper left coordinate is (row1,col1) and bottom right coordinate is (row2,col2).

2. getValue(int row, int col)

• Returns the current value of the coordinate (row,col) from the rectangle.

Example 1:

Input
[[[[1,2,1],[4,3,4],[3,2,1],[1,1,1]]],[0,2],[0,0,3,2,5],[0,2],[3,1],[3,0,3,2,10],[3,1],[0,2]]
Output


[null,1,null,5,5,null,10,5]

Explanation SubrectangleQueries subrectangleQueries = new SubrectangleQueries([[1,2,1],[4,3,4],[3,2,1],[1,1,1]]); // The initial rectangle (4×3) looks like: // 1 2 1 // 4 3 4 // 3 2 1 // 1 1 1 subrectangleQueries.getValue(0, 2); // return 1 subrectangleQueries.updateSubrectangle(0, 0, 3, 2, 5); // After this update the rectangle looks like: // 5 5 5 // 5 5 5 // 5 5 5 // 5 5 5 subrectangleQueries.getValue(0, 2); // return 5 subrectangleQueries.getValue(3, 1); // return 5 subrectangleQueries.updateSubrectangle(3, 0, 3, 2, 10); // After this update the rectangle looks like: // 5 5 5 // 5 5 5 // 5 5 5 // 10 10 10 subrectangleQueries.getValue(3, 1); // return 10 subrectangleQueries.getValue(0, 2); // return 5

Example 2:

Input
[[[[1,1,1],[2,2,2],[3,3,3]]],[0,0],[0,0,2,2,100],[0,0],[2,2],[1,1,2,2,20],[2,2]]
Output


[null,1,null,100,100,null,20]

Explanation SubrectangleQueries subrectangleQueries = new SubrectangleQueries([[1,1,1],[2,2,2],[3,3,3]]); subrectangleQueries.getValue(0, 0); // return 1 subrectangleQueries.updateSubrectangle(0, 0, 2, 2, 100); subrectangleQueries.getValue(0, 0); // return 100 subrectangleQueries.getValue(2, 2); // return 100 subrectangleQueries.updateSubrectangle(1, 1, 2, 2, 20); subrectangleQueries.getValue(2, 2); // return 20

Constraints:

• There will be at most 500 operations considering both methods: updateSubrectangle and getValue.
• 1 <= rows, cols <= 100
• rows == rectangle.length
• cols == rectangle[i].length
• 0 <= row1 <= row2 < rows
• 0 <= col1 <= col2 < cols
• 1 <= newValue, rectangle[i][j] <= 10^9
• 0 <= row < rows
• 0 <= col < cols

## Solution 1: Simulation

Space complexity: O(rows*cols)

## Solution 2: Geometry
